During this time the skin will rapidly continue to show signs of ageing if not properly taken care of. Sun protection is now vital to prevent moles and blemishes changing into cancerous lesions. Sebum production is dramatically reduced, leading to the deepening of lines and wrinkles. Dryness, enlarged pores, deepening discolouration under the eyes and an increase in thread veins (broken capillaries) on the cheeks all start to rear their ugly head.
